Thomas took Derek's offered hand and pulled himself to his feet. With his weight pushing down on the soles of the shoes, he bounced from heel to toe and then nodded. When his feet didn't explode out of the sneakers (not that he'd expected them to do that), he let go of Derek's hand.
"Comfortable," he answered, pushing himself to his tiptoes and then back down. He could feel the tightness of the shoe where the fabric was waiting to be stretched. Hopefully he'd be able to do that without too much trouble. The last thing he needed was a shucking blister.
With the shoes taken care of, Thomas tore open the protein bar and took a bite, chewing carefully. The taste and the size reminded him of one of the granola bars WICKED had given them before tossing them into the wasteland. Thomas wanted to shudder with the memory but he suppressed it. Pushed it down and pulled himself up to his full height before answering Derek's challenge. "The only place that's gonna happen is in your dreams. And even then, I don't think it's gonna happen."
